fast furious remake on GTA, pretty cool
- so ive damaged a BT cable, what now?
The other day i was picking a skip up from a customer and the arm of the skip lorry snagged a BT cable that was clipped to the side of the pole (no secondary protection) and pulled the cable out of the box at the top knocking four homes of the phone. A week later, the customer contacts me and tells me BT have been out 3 times and made the fault worse by knocking 6 homes off A BT engineer with "no boss" and "no office" as he "works from a van" contacted me and asked for my address as he would be billing me approx £1000 - £2000. Upon telling him I would contact BT, they have no recolection of a fault been reported, yet some attempt has been made. Is someone trying to con me? Where do I stand legally? And, should a cable repair really cost between one and two thousand pound? thanks guys, Dan- GT5 on Amazon for £17, be quick!!
yep, checked, checked and double checked to make sure. When I bought it, the title had only been on Amazon for just over 2 hours- GT5 on Amazon for £17, be quick!!
Just ordered my copy, its on there for just over £16 for an estimated release date of 25th September:hyper:- windows media file converted to mp3??
I have bought a Hitachi media player but it is not supported by my car head unit as my computer has put the files onto it in windows media format. I need to convert them over to MP3 format, how can I do this??- Memorable toy cars...
What cars stick out in your memory that you played with as a child? I had many, and even remember playing with my yellow Matchbox 300zx, it had "300ZX" written down the side. :cool:- Top Gears Zed had a broken diff! Correct?
On two occasions when the Z tried to accelerate on the ice track one wheel was spinning. I thought all Z`s had slippers. If the diff was knackered then that would explain why a manual twin turbo was available for £1500. Or am I completely wrong here?- v8 engine in a Z
As my Z is fast approaching 120,000 miles now and I fear the worst of such things as turbo`s and timing belt I thought maybe a V8 conversion could be an option. I was looking for information on whether or not the standard Z 5 speed box would be compatible? Which V8 engine to go for? Who could actually do the conversion for me? And a rough estimate of costs? Thanks, Dan- Car suggestions
oooh 15k and ur stumped?? whats up with u man?? e39 M5, Audi RS4, E55 amg, Jaguar S type R, Range Rover Sport, VW Passat CC, Lexus IS / GS, e60 BMW 5 series...- what car (estate) ?
I have just bought a Saab 9-5 HOT aero estate, its a manual, in pearl black/copper with full black leather on a 53 plate (face lift) for less than 5k ... 250 bhp too- thin oil causing smoke?
I drove my car quite hard today in the heat, after letting it cool down I noticed blueish smoke coming out of the nearside exhaust, it only seemed to thicken as the car cooled. After switching it off and starting it up several hours later I let it idle again, this time, there was no smoke. Whats causing this? & by changing the oil will it help to stop it smoking? cheers, Dan- how do i drain brake fluid?
This weekend I want to drain out my brake fluid, flush it through and then bleed it back up with a good quality fluid... is it worth attempting it myself? If so can you guys give me some info on things like where to drain it from etc...- Tein S tech springs??
Thinking of ordering a set of these for my car, is it true they drop the car 10mm at the front and 5mm at the rear? Can you please post a pic of you car if you have these fitted? Thanks, Dan- God-Awful Colour Scheme
Epic fail- lowering (realistic) options
whats wrong with the £45 ones off ebay, they are tempting me...- Where is the air con re-gas point on my Z?
My Z is a 1992 UK TT Is the small valve next to the engine oil dip stick the air con regas point? Or is it somewhere else? Thanks, Dan- Ticking over oil smoke...
the smoke is blue, and as soon as i drove off the smoke went, seems to just be on tickover- Ticking over oil smoke...
I know this must come up time and time again, but, Tonight i drove my car quite hard, I then let it cool on tickover for about 5 minutes. About 2 hours later I started it up and whilst it was ticking over I noticed whisps of smoke from the nearside exhaust that smelt like buring oil. I drove the car home and the smoke seemed to disappear... Whats causing this? What can I do to prevent this? What damage is it causing? Thanks guys, Dan- Selling my car without personal number plate?
OK, thanks for that Richard :-)- Selling my car without personal number plate?
I put my Mercedes up for sale and have had a lot of interest in it, I have stated that the sale does not include the number plate. If someone was to come along and purchase the car what do I have to do to make sure I do not loose my number plate? Or is the only way to actually have it put onto retention throught the DVLA? Thanks guys, Dan- Sticky throttle cable???
I have checked the pipe and its not catching on the throttle, i did push the pipe fractionally back on though, could a slight leak cause this revving? Other than that, what else should I check??- Sticky throttle cable???
My 1992 UK 300ZX tt has just started to idle at about 1800rpm, it is as though the choke is out, its being doing it intermitantly for a few weeks now but these last couple of days it pretty much constant... Is it a sticky throttle cable or something else? What do I need to do to sort it out? Thanks guys, Dan- which front discs?
can warped rear discs cause steering wheel shake? or anything else for that matter (only under braking)??? - so ive damaged a BT cable, what now?
